The recommended max transmission distance when the wire diameter is certain and the DC12V voltage loss
rate is less than 10% (For DC12V powered devices, the maximum allowed voltage loss rate is 10%. All the
wires in the following table are cooper wires, whose electrical resistivity is ρ = 0.0175Ω*mm2/m)

(m)
Power (W)
[Note]: 1. When the transmission power is over 60W, you must use wires with diameter of 1.0 (18AWG) or
above;
2. The requirements of diameter apply to single, solid and round cooper wire. The AWG value of multi-
stranded wires is dependent on the total CSA (Cross Sectional Area) of all wires.

V. Installation
6
Ceiling Mount:
The installation steps of ceiling mount and wall mount are the same. This part will take ceiling mount as an
example to introduce the installation steps. During the installation, please keep the transparent dome clean
both inside and outside.
You can perform ceiling or wall mount when the wall or ceiling are thick and solid enough for fixing self-tapping
screws and meanwhile strong enough for bearing the device.
Pendent mount Wall bracket mount
Ceiling mount Wall mount
Camera weight: 0.6kg (net)
When installing the device outdoor, a waterproof joint box is necessary to get good waterproofness. As the
waterproof joint box is optional, please contact your supplier or customer service personnel to purchase.
The waterproof joint box and its installation sketch are shown below. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide of
the waterproof joint box for detailed installation.
The camera supports ceiling mount, wall mount, pendent mount and wall bracket mount. As pendent mount and
wall bracket mount need brackets but the device itself does not contain brackets, please contact your supplier
or customer service personnel to purchase.

2. Install TF card (optional). Insert a TF card into the slot as shown in the following picture. The max supported
memory of TF card is 128G. After insertion, hot-swapping the TF card is not recommended.
Insert TF card
3. Paste the installation sticker. Pick out the installation sticker from the attachment and stick it to the ceiling or
wall according to the surveillance area. Size of the sticker is shown in the following picture.
1. Take down the dome housing. Use a screw driver to screw off the 3 cross recessed pan tamper screws and
take down the dome housing.
Note:
Do not put the transparent dome housing on the ground when taking it down to avoid scratching.
Prevent scratching the internal of the dome housing with the screw driver during operation; otherwise the
image quality will be affected.
Do not peel off the protective film inside and outside the dome housing until finishing installation.

4. Drill holes. Drill 3 basic holes with plastic expansion screw bolts at the 3 "cross" hole marks on the sticker and
insert the 3 expansion screw bolts thoroughly into the holes.
5. Fix the device base onto the wall. Adjust the base of the device, route the cables through the cable hole, align
the 3 screw holes on the device base to the 3 plastic expansion screw bolts on the mounting surface, tighten
the 3 tapping screws into the expansion screw bolts and fix the dome camera onto the surface.
[Note] If routing the cables from the top of the mounting surface, a cable outlet hole is also needed at the part
of "Cable Hole" on the sticker. If routing the cables from the profile side of the device, lead the cables out
through the U-shaped groove at the side of the dome base.

7. Install dome housing. Pick up the dome housing, peel off the protective film inside the transparent dome,
align the screw holes on the dome housing to that on the base and cover the housing. Tighten the 3 cross
recessed pan tamper screws with a screw driver and fix the dome housing onto the base. Finally, peel off the
protective film outside the transparent dome housing.
8. Connect cables and power on the device.

Tilt rotation 25°-90°
6. Adjust lens surveillance direction. Loosen the lens angle-adjusting screw, rotate the dome manually and the
lens will rotate in pan and tilt directions. Rotate the rotating part at the back of the lens. When the lens rotates
till ±90°, set the mode as corridor mode while 0° as common mode. It's inadvisable to rotate too hard during
adjustment to avoid damage to the parts. After finishing adjustment, tighten the lens angle-adjusting screw.

Pendent Mount:
Though the pendent bracket is different with the wall bracket, their installation method is quite similar. Now
take the pendent bracket as an example to illustrate the installation steps, which is also a reference for wall
bracket mount.
When choosing pendent or wall bracket mount, please make sure that the mounting wall or ceiling is thick and
solid enough for fixing tapping screws and meanwhile strong enough for bearing the total weight of the device
and the bracket.

1. Drill holes. Determine the hole positions on the wall according to the holes on the base of the bracket drill ,
holes on the wall and insert expansion screw bolts .
If routing the cables from the top of the mounting surface, a cable outlet hole is also needed on the wall. If
routing the cables from the profile side of the device, lead the cables out through the U-shaped groove at the
base of the bracket.

2. Take down the dome housing. Use a screw driver to screw off the 3 cross recessed pan tamper screws and
take down the dome housing.
Do not put the transparent dome housing on the ground when taking it down to avoid scratching.
4. Align the 3 screw holes on the device base to the 3 screw holes on the bracket, tighten the 3 screws and fix the
dome camera onto the bracket.
3. Route cables. If routing the cables from the top, lead the cables through the mounting surface. If routing the
cables from the profile side of the device, lead the cables out through the U-shaped groove at the base of the
bracket.
Top wiring Side wiring
[Note] The outer diameter of the drill should match with that of the expansion screw bolt and the hole
deepness match the screw bolt length.

5. Fix bracket. Align the 4 screw holes on the bracket base to the 4 expansion screw bolts on the mounting
surface, tighten the 4 tapping screws into the expansion screw bolts and fix the pendent bracket onto the
mounting surface.
6. Refer to Step 6 -7 of Ceiling Mount for lens direction adjustment and dome housing installation.
7. Connect cables and power on the device.
